Szechuan Restaurants near Portland, OR

“LITERALLY the greatest Chinese food that exists. We visited a year ago in May 2024 while picking my daughter up from college. We have been talking about it ever since. We are back in May 2025 to pick her up again and can’t wait to go back! The food is the freshest, highest quality I have ever seen, atmosphere is authentic but chill, service is great. We wish we had a place half this good in our hometown.“

“Amazing food! Friendly staff!“

“I recently dined at Sichuan Taste, and it was an unforgettable experience—in the best way. From the moment we walked in, the fragrant spices in the air hinted at the bold flavors to come. The restaurant had a warm, bustling atmosphere, and the staff were friendly and attentive without being overbearing.

We started with the spicy wontons in chili oil, and they were phenomenal—delicately wrapped, perfectly cooked, and swimming in a sauce that delivered heat with flavor, not just fire. The mapo tofu was a standout: silky tofu in a rich, complex sauce with that signature numbing kick from Sichuan peppercorns. It was everything I hoped for and more.

Another favorite was the dry-fried green beans—crisp, savory, and just the right amount of salty. Every dish we tried felt thoughtfully prepared, with generous portions and vibrant ingredients.

If you’re a fan of authentic, fiery Sichuan cuisine, Sichuan Taste is a must-visit. Just be ready for some serious spice! (Pro tip: order the jasmine tea—it pairs beautifully with the heat.)

Rating: ★★★★☆ (4.5/5)
Would definitely come back to explore more of the menu!“

“Outstanding food and great service. The owner served us and did a great job pointing out menu items and explained some things that were new to us. The food came out fast and hot and we really had a great experience.“

“We use to go to the Hi Hat in Tigard for our Chinese food. But they closed years ago. So we have been going to the place in downtown Tigard. And they are just OK. Nothing special. So tonight we tired Kuang's Kitchen. And WOW. The BBQed pork was very moist, the String Bean Pork was flavorful with the right ratio of beans to pork. 10-ingredient fried rice had everything listed and very good. This will now be our go to place for good Chinese food.“

“Super yummy food! Giant portions and awesome customer service. Will definitely be coming back 😊“

“The food seems more authentic than most. Although most dishes are spicy, their regular level is slice is very tolerable. Nice use of Sichuan peppercorns--everything warms the mouth without setting it on fire. I've had their mapo tofu, kung pao chicken, and beef with green onions. All very good. Looking forward to exploring more of their menu.“
